I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ADP (Houston, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
After applying I spoke with the recruiter for a phone screen. The next week I spoke with the VP of sales. Two days later I had the last round with 3 separate calls with the account executives and the dm. Then a role play scenario. Following each step I received positive feedback and no reasons why I wouldn’t be a good fit from the entire hiring team. I felt very good and was pleased with the process to this point. With that being said I was fully prepared not to receive an offer because I understand someone could have been better.
However, I felt disrespected after going through to the final round and being told very good things by each interviewer then receiving an automated email from the original job poster saying the usual ... “thanks for your consideration but no thanks. Hope you keep us in mind for next time”. Now I have a bunch of positive feedback about my experience and no offer. Super helpful.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to walk through a sales role play where I was an ADP rep pitching payroll services to a small bagel shop referred by an existing client.
Do not recommend, had to go in the field shadowing someone for a full work day, get back to the office at 4:30, do an interview with a rude manager that seemed like they did not want to be there.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Phone interview -> Interview with VP of Sales -> Multiple in-person interviews with two separate panels of Sales Executives.
The team was great, responsive, and a fresh of breath air.
